Black or White??
I think I already know the answer but want confirmation. I am about to LA a quilt that is white, red and black top...the back is black.
I have the backing pinned and was about to lay the white batting..stop to think..umm, maybe this is wrong and I need black batting, which I don't have. I would have to go out and buy retail prices. I need to have two with black backing by the end of February.
I might just have time to order black.
Did I answer my own question

I think I'd stick with the white backing as well. I've not used black but I agree with Dottymo that it will probably show through your white fabrics more than the white batting will show through your black fabrics. I've not had an issue with white (in my case actually 'natural') batting showing through on dark fabrics.

It depends on the batting. Poly sometimes will migrate thru your stitching. I just pinned this quilt using natural color of Hobbs 80/20 and haven't noticed any problem yet. (I need to take more recent photo since it is actually pinned ready for quilting)
